Just as Johnny Cash's Christian faith was always a major part of his life, gospel was a huge aspect of his musical makeup. That fact is handily borne out on the comprehensive two-disc collection THE GOSPEL MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH. This anthology encompasses a number of eras and musical settings, and sports an agreeably broad definition of gospel music. Everything from Kris Kristofferson's sinner's lament, Why Me, to Cash's own sociopolitical protest anthem, The Man in Black, and the traditional hymn The Old Rugged Cross turns up here.The unshakable gravitas inherent in Cash's deep, thick tones, and his earnest-but-never- precious delivery make his musical statements of faith and spirituality some of the most convincing in all of country gospel. Nobody's better at repentance and salvation...

Gospel Music is the solo project of Owen Holmes, bassist from the Black Kids, a quirky pop band that went from posting tunes on MySpace to a major-label deal in less than two years. Although his melodies have the quirky charm of the best Black Kids songs, it's doubtful that Holmes will repeat his other band's success. His dark humor and use of ukulele, toy piano, banjo, and off-kilter rhythms probably makes him a bit too odd for mainstream taste, but fans of the early work of Modern Lovers or Moldy Peaches will love his lo-fi approach. The lyrics are mordantly clever as they dissect the foibles and follies of lovers and other dreamers trying to make sense of contemporary life. Bird/Fish opens the record with a scratchy recording that sounds like it was made on an answering machine. It's...

Liner Note Author: Joel Dorn. Photographer: Lee Friedlander.It's impractical to recap the rich history of gospel music in even a box set, but this single disc does a terrific job of introducing the highlights of the genre over a brief but effective 50-minute CD. From such legends as Mahalia Jackson, the Staple Singers, and James Cleveland to the somewhat more esoteric Violinaires and Trumpeteers, co-compilers Joel Dorn and photographer Lee Friedlander -- old friends from their days working together at Atlantic Records -- present a well-rounded and consistently mesmerizing set of tunes that shows why gospel is the heart and soul of American music. It's impossible not to be moved by this sound, regardless of your religious beliefs. These musicians aren't trying to make money; they are...

Photographer: Emily Sutherland.The Statler Brothers (they're not actual brothers -- they just sing like they are) began as a church vocal group, and while they went on to place hits on both the pop and country charts in a 45-year career, traditional church music and gospel remained at the heart of their sound and intent. For years the group hosted a variety show on TNN and would close each program by singing a gospel song around a lone piano, and this disc, the first volume of two (there are also matching DVD volumes), collects several of those intimate performances, along with a relaxed interview. It makes for a nice introduction to a vocal group that has become an American institution. ~ Steve Leggett

The Speer Family in various permutations has been singing their special brand of country-gospel music since the Edison cylinder era, and as this 2007 release attests, they show no signs of slowing down. The collection gathers some of their better-known hymns and serves as a good introduction to the sweet harmonies and stirring message behind the music.

Recording information: St. Mark Baptist Church, Little Rock, AR.Producer, executive producer, singer, organist, and rearranger Moses Tyson, Jr. assembles a varied live show of gospel music on his World Class Gospel Jubilee. There is traditional gospel, notably in the form of Ruby Terry's raucous rendition of He's More Than Enough, and Bishop Brandon B. Porter's Bless the Name of Jesus (on which Porter throws in some preaching for good measure). But Tyson justifies his rearranging credit early on with a hip-hop, contemporary R&B arrangement of Oh Happy Day for Dita Jackson. It's one of several covers of pop hits from the late '60s and early `70s, and the only one that actually has an overtly religious theme. Tyson contributes his own cover of Johnny Nash's I Can See Clearly Now, perhaps...
